Happy Thanksgiving to You


We have been invited to DH's brother's house for one last Thanksgiving there. They are splitting up and SIL is moving to Vegas with their grown daughter and her two boys. Their son has been on his own for awhile now. The house has been sold but will not close until 12/10. After that I don't know where BIL will be living.

So it will be an interesting (to say the least) afternoon/evening. DH is depressed, and is hell bent on buying a computer for a good deal with his $500 windfall. In my opinion he is not thinking clearly, and I have said as much. That's all I can do. This isn't something over which I have any control.

You know, if he'd just get over his "needle phobis" and go sell plasma, he could make nearly $300 A MONTH, and I don't think you have to report that as earned income. Hell, it's how many people manage to supplement their incomes. Then I would have no problem with what he did with the money. But speaking as the sole "breadwinner," this capricious plan (I know - oxymoronish) for the money is pissing me off.

That said, this mostly vegetarian's mouth is watering at the idea of having Turkey and stuffing later today. Yummy.

Good Night, TTYL and Be Well

    Happy thanksgiving. I'll be enjoying a vegetarian's dream; a tofurky.

    Are those good? What do they taste like, and what about the texture? Sadly, I've heard nary a rave about Tofurky. DH isn't interested in trying one because he considers it Processed Food with artificially made to taste like meat. (Same with soy burgers, and lots of other soy based products.

    Lately he's gotten back into cooking Indian foods like channa dahl, or a full mung dahl, and Bharta. MMmmm yummy

    One day soon I'll get up the gumption to go to India Bazaar for some cardamom pods, fennel seeds, whole cloves and fresh ginger so I can make up a batch of Chai. It's been a long while since I've had any.

no sooner had i written that last post than i came  down with a  fever and a raging case of cellulitis. needless to say i was admitted into the hospital the monday before thanksgiving and stayed until  the sunday  after. i did however order a turkey dinner on thursday, and they served a special dessert! since i came home, i haven't heard from my caregiver... so i called the office and spoke with her supervisor. it turns out that she was clocking  in and out all week! that's tantamount to fraud. don't know what'll happen to her. i have had two caregivers since. both i liked, but the first one lasted only one day, and the other hasn't had much experience. i'll give her a chance and we'll see what happens. good night, ttyl, and be well.

My MS Update 2017

Image
I entered last year celebrating by watching 'new year at the needle' fireworks display (The Seattle Space Needle) on a hospital TV.  I was in there from 12/27/16 to 1/3/17 with, I believe, cellulitis and a bladder infection.  I have been in the hospital several times since then, 5/19 to 5/22  with cellulitis. I didn't have any cuts so it must have been a cat claw poke or a bug bite... any break in the skin will do for those of us who are immuno-compromised. August brought me in hospital from 8.19  to 8/25 with the perfect trifecta -  cellulitis, vaginal and bladder infections. So, how am I doing? you might ask. Well,  36 years with MS and this is my current condition. From head to toe, here goes nothing. if you are newly diagnosed let me tell you here that mine is not a typical case, but still, you may want to stop reading now. head - intermittent memory lapses; I thank the heavens for post-it notes, I have three on my laptop now reminding me...

my back yard pt. 2

well. there's a new addition to the pet cemetery. last  week we lost Rajah, brother to nishita and punima who died in 2o18. he's buried adjacent to them. when dh was digging the grave, he found  a large skull of a dog (not ours), so he had to put a little more space than we would have preferred between the cats. i  imagine in thirty years or so, whoever buys the house and digs up the yard will be quite surprised. good night, ttyl, and be well in this year of COVID-19
